It could go deeper about art essencially and Basquiat's huge work and legacy, but it's great as a movie especially because it doesn't shy away from criticizing, it just spends too much time in the love and personal relations stories.

Every once in a while you watch a movie that means something to you. This is one. Totally compelling flick that let's you see a glimpse of another's soul. Jeffery Wright is so believable that I would guess he sometimes to this day slips back into character. While most viewers will have no way to judge the accuracy to the real Basquiat, the realism is none the less magical. Watch this movie and for about 90 minutes you will be transported directly into a creative period of American art & life history. There is nothing in this movie that appears out of place and it realistically captures life in NYT. Performances by all the supporting actors are great and Bowie's performance is amazing.

Horrible, sometimes you feel it as a movie made by someone who never looked for something about Basquiat and in others moments you know it. Showing us a Basquiat that's whatever but not someone who knows about art. All the real people who knows him always said that he was a lover of the arts, someone who lived inside museums. This movie (trying to make a "real Basquiat") forgot to say something about that, It's just a boy who loves party, drugs and makes funny of the art. And the main character actor... God, that's horrible. He doesn't act, he just... just is there... talking like "I don't wonna be here". The unique good thing (my 2 stars) Bowie. When he is in the film, you understand that this is a joke... not a real movie. He acts like "ok, you're making fun with some of my friends... let's make fun, let's play that game".

I found this film to be rather interesting (a major compliment coming from a fan of gangster and Sci-Fi films). From the point of view of a college student with 3 art history courses under my belt, it was fascinating. David Bowie's performance as Andy Warhol alone is worth seeing the movie for, and Christopher Walken should really do TV interviews. He is always entertaining. I highly recommend this one.

i went to manhattan to see this movie.. and left the theatre to walk about the village in tears. i was an undergraduate art major at the time.. which helps to give background knowledge when viewing this film. nevertheless, basquiat is a true view into the life and times of a great artist. furthermore, the film depicts exactly what the scene was like, and gives insight into a lifestyle not everyone may accept or understand. perfectly. on so many different levels, with so much talent, this film will always stay with me...

I'm a big fan of Basquiat and his work and I think he was an extraordinary talent, but this film was just a travesty. All over the place and with basically no discernible plot. Anyone who knows the tiniest amount about Basquiat and his life will probably hate it, I know I did.

Great film. A Classic amongst true story genre. Basquiat was and is the classic and archetypal artist. The movie portrays Basquiat as the artist as it is still known To-day. It is no wonder great actors such as Hopper, del Torro, Oldman & Bowie appears. In this ever changing world, tommorrows artist may be from the rich and the priveledged class. But Basquiat to-day remains as is Joplin, Hendrix and the likes. My generation. Movie to be greatly appreciated by artists and those who understand.

One of the few movies on my four star list. I loved this movie. It really shows the true human spirit, it can be stunningly beautiful or devastatingly ugly. About an artist growing up in the big city with a few of his friends (benecio del toro, courtney love) , his rise to fame, and how he delt with it. Courtney love and Benecio del Toro both have minor parts but effective and alluring ones. I especially liked Benecios character. A dj'in heroin junkie who plays a mean game of basketball and offers quite a lot more once you get into the movie.. RIP Basquiat, you will live on forever in my heart and your artwork. This movie has an absolutely AMAZING soundtrack to boot, that goes quite well with the style of shooting.

Biscuit...Ya I actually like his work, primal. I loved this study into this sad artist. I also looked into Andy warhol who's name I only knew as a metaphor for being an iconclast. The performances where heart breaking and so real. I really loved this movie and didn't know it was by an artist.
